From its first publication in 1992, Men, Women, and Chain Saws has
offered a groundbreaking perspective on the creativity and
influence of horror cinema since the mid-1970s. Investigating the
popularity of the low-budget tradition, Carol Clover looks in
particular at slasher, occult, and rape-revenge films. Although
such movies have been traditionally understood as offering only
sadistic pleasures to their mostly male audiences, Clover
demonstrates that they align spectators not with the male
tormentor, but with the females tormented--notably the slasher
movie's "final girls"--as they endure fear and degradation before
rising to save themselves. The lesson was not lost on the
mainstream industry, which was soon turning out the formula in
well-made thrillers. Including a new preface by the author, this
Princeton Classics edition is a definitive work that has found an
avid readership from students of film theory to major Hollywood
filmmakers.
